Why consider Scanning Decontamination Paperwork?

• The Statutory Retention period for decontamination records has increased.
• Disaster Recovery is an issue as copies of records will not exist.
• Printed information will fade unless held in temperature/humidity controlled environment.
• Securing information held on stored paperwork is difficult.
• Inspecting the quality of output on folded and stapled paperwork is time consuming.
• Sharing information with others on paper impacts budgets and time.
• Decontamination paperwork is difficult to photocopy for requested information.
• Document storage is an on-going overhead, causes delays and involves others.

The Benefits of converting Paperwork to Images:

• Images can be stored on CD/DVD and accessed for as long as necessary.

• Images are always available 24/7.
• More secure when in an electronic format and much easier to manage.
• Much easier to carry out regular checks on data for Quality Assurance purposes.
• Once on disc, the quality of each image is maintained throughout the retention period.
